Josh Ford

They will be probably when the AP poll drops on Sunday, you know, a couple hours after you read this podcast.

I think I was right with the toughness from Josh Ford, and we were all right on that.

You talk about the physicality and the toughness of this team.

This guy, I cannot believe how many reps that he played.

Still... goes up over the middle of the field, leaves the ground and gets tattooed, which should have been a targeting penalty, and then has to leave the game again, there's zero fear from this kid.

I mean, and if we're going to criticize him when he drops a pass or maybe his blocking effort isn't where it needs to be on a play or two, we need to be giving him credit because the kind of toughness and things that he's been, we give Josh Ford that credit.

We need to give Ryan Coleman Williams that credit as well.

Yeah.

Look, if you don't see him at the press conference with a black eye, it wasn't bad enough.

Look, and I love Dijon, he's a good kid, but when you cause people like that, bro, and I'm over here fighting my butt off and we got Josh Ford out here with a broken arm, bro, I literally would crack that thing over your head saying, you got me out here looking crazy.

I would lose it.

It's moments like this that are really, really bad and low.

They have to be.

Josh Ford was just popping pads with the cast on his hand.

They need them in there to be able to give Keelan a little bit more of a feel of protection.

And I think once he starts settling in, then you can start freeing them up and getting some plays going down the field.

But I'll tell you what, for the Alabama, Georgia no longer has a monopoly on tight ends.

These tight ends for Alabama, Josh Ford and Pritchett, all these guys, I mean, they can all just go out there and line up in 13 and 14 personnel, which later in the season in December and in January, the championship months, that's going to be huge for both these teams.

All right.

Anything else, Blaine, you want to throw into the pot here? I see you giggling.

Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens, who has six TDs on the season, is out, but Nate Frazier will return after missing two games with bruised ribs.

Alabama tight end Josh Ford is expected to play after suffering a broken arm last week.

On to baseball, where the Guardians host the White Sox in a winner-take-all Game 5 in the ALDS.

Cleveland is looking to become the first Major League team to come back from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five playoff series since the 2017 New York Yankees.

It to me has been the biggest change for Alabama is getting a tight end.

That's a tone setter in Josh Ford from Oklahoma State.

You bring him in.

You add him to the mix with Marshall Pritchett, who gets another year, who's a nice receiving option.

He's been punishing some guys.

So they just, Caleb Edwards, another dude, just all these guys who can do good things and make plays and can block and catch.

Josh Ford has been a blocking tight end, but that one-handed catch he made was insane.

So yeah, you talk about a difference-making group, one that sets the tone, the mindset, it's those tight ends.
